Dear Ruth - I miss you....

I miss you more than I could possibly say.  I am wearing your pink cardigan which I brought home from Berkeley.    I can see you wear it and remember how you would feel the softness of it with one hand while pondering a thought.....   Then often a "Well....." would follow and you would share your wisdom.   You shared more than your wisdom - you shared your everything.   Thank you Ruth for always having been there for me and for teaching me about love and life.  I wish I would have listened better, I wish i would have hugged you more, I wish that you are at peace right now.   
   
At night before you'd go to sleep
 you would make your rounds across the country
 to bless all of your family and wish these words on all of us:

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee
May the Lord make his face shine upon thee
and be gracious unto thee
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee
and give thee peace.
